For any of you that share your internet connection with family/others, and often experience blips when other family members are doing something online, there may be something worth trying if you have a router that supports QoS (Quality of Service).

Basically QoS should allow you to place STS related traffic at the front of the queue - hopefully ensuring a lag free STS experience. For more details try the following Google search; http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&q=router+qos

STS uses TCP ports 6654-6655 and UDP ports 6654-6655. An example of how this may be configured is shown below...

Hope this proves useful!

Re: Bit of router advice..

When i type my Default gateway into the search bar nothing happens now :/, any help ?

Browsing to your default gateway should normally open the router admin panel. If this isn't working for you it suggests you're typing the wrong IP address.See my viewtopic.php?f=16&t=13927 post (section 1.1) for how to find out what the gateway is. If using wireless rather than a wired connection the information will be shown under something like "Wireless LAN Adapter" rather than "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection".If this still doesn't work you'll need to check your manual.

Re: Bit of router advice..

Hi mate, i sorted it... i found that my Router settings were set to "public" which means you cannot access the Router Admin Panel.

I've had probably half a dozen different routers this last few years (many hardware failures), each router being fairly high-spec and pricey (£100-£200 each), but my current one might be the first to support it.
